I think it comes down to both Sony making good titles & having the really good exclusives, plenty in all different genres to pique the interest of lots of different types of gamers.

In the last 3 generations I have had 2 consoles each time:

PS1 & N64,
PS2 & XBOX,
PS3 & Wii.

In each instance (IMHO) it's the Sony console that has shined with the others falling well short of my expectations, a large part of that is obviously because those successful games have shown up on each Sony console. I just dont see enough exclusives on the 360 that interest me to warrant the purchase, and i think that shows in the GOTY 08' and the coming titles for PS3 09'.

Its not for everyone, but all i know is when i hear the next Final Fantasy, MGS, GT, God of War games are coming out i cant wait because they never fail to take it up a notch, whereas when I hear about the next Mario game, i just feel a bit jaded about it all.

Just one persons opinion.

The PS3 is not head to head against the Wii this gen. The PS3 is up against the 360. The PS3 couldn't hold the Wii's jock as the Wii is in another stratusphere. 

 

 

Well i think it it pretty clear that i am talking about my own personal experience as a PS3 & Wii owner. How successful the consoles are compared to one another is of consequence in this discussion.

If you prefer the Wii then more power to you, having played both consoles i personally prefer the PS3 by a wide margin - im not going to pretend i prefer the Wii just because it is winning the console war, that would be childish on my part.
